v0.5.2

[BUGFIX] Don't suggest vMix is connected until a hello message is received and tally subscription was acknowledged #85
[BUGFIX] The logs where written with the path segment vally-electron, missing a t that is essential to our name. It is now fixed an the files are now:
- on Linux: ~/.config/vtally-electron/logs/main.log
- on macOS: ~/Library/Logs/vtally-electron/main.log
- on Windows: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\vtally-electron\logs\main.log

v0.5.1

[BUGFIX] Atem did not work when using the Electron distribution #78
[FEATURE] Improved support when editing scenes in OBS #87 (Thanks, @Fuechschen)
[FEATURE] When using the Electron distribution, logs are written to a file (please note that the path of the files is wrong in this release and called vally instead of vtally #93 ):
- on Linux: ~/.config/vally-electron/logs/main.log
- on macOS: ~/Library/Logs/vally-electron/main.log
- on Windows: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\vally-electron\logs\main.log

v0.5.0

Code on the Tally did not change.

[BREAKING] way of installation has changed. We ship platform specific executables now. See Download Instructions for details.
[FEATURE] support for Roland V-8HD and V-60HD. Thanks @JWandscheer #58
[FEATURE] The project got a new name and a logo. Say hello to vTally and enjoy the new logo in the GUI.
[FEATURE] experimental support to edit tally-settings.ini and flash the code from the Hub via USB
[FEATURE] The hub automatically tries to restart in case it crashes. Consider this a safety net: It should never be necessary – if it is, please file an issue – but there might be cases where it helps.
[FEATURE] All releases are published to npmjs.com

v0.4.2

A minor feature and maintenance release.

Code on the Tally did not change from v0.4.1.

[ADDED] allow to dim operator light to 1% brightness #57
[CHANGED] npm dependencies of the hub updated

v0.4.1

A minor feature and bugfix release.

You only need to update the code on the Tally if you plan on using the new feature that supports red-green-blue WS2812 light.

[ADDED] the dim green light for the operator, that indicates the tally is working, can be turned off #50
[ADDED] support WS2812 leds with red-green-blue order #52
[CHANGED] npm dependencies of the hub updated
[BUGFIX] add init.lua to the release package. For some reason it got lost along the way

v0.4.0

IMPORTANT: Code on the Tally HAS changed. Tallies and the Hub will not be able to communicate unless you also update the .lc files on the Tallies.

[BREAKING] The protocol between Tally and Hub has been modified. The hub now sends specific information on what colors to show. This step was necessary because we reached the memory limit on NodeMCU with the newly added features.
[ADDED] Tallies can use a pink-yellow color scheme to be better distinguishable for people with a red-green weakness (Protanopia, Deuteranopia)
[ADDED] Tallies can be dimmed and the stage light can be turned off completely
[ADDED] Tallies have an option to hide preview state on the stage light.
[ADDED] All of the settings above can be changed for ALL Tallies or on a per-Tally basis.
[ADDED] OBS support to only show on-air status when actually recording or streaming. The Tally Lights will show up as "in preview" when this is not the case.

v0.3.0

A feature release.

Code on the Tally did not change. If you are doing an upgrade there is no need to modify the Tallies.

[ADDED] The Hub allows to turn any device with a browser into a Tally Light ("Web Tally")
[CHANGED] We recommend updating Node.js to version 14. The hub will still run with Node.js 12 in the foreseeable future though.
[CHANGED] Documentation has been cleaned up and the Getting Started Guide has a different order now

v0.2.1

[BUGFIX] Tallies and their configuration are stored again

v0.2.0

There have been numerous technical changes on the hub and the way the release is built under the hood. One of the results is, that the release packages are now significantly smaller. We made sure that nothing broke, but if you spot anything please report it.

Code on the Tally did not change. If you are doing an upgrade there is no need to modify the Tallies.

[ADDED] Support for OBS added #27
[CHANGED] the release size has been reduced significantly. This should speed up download and extraction by a magnitude
[CHANGED] replaced the UI framework (from bootstrap to MaterialUI). There are some minor changes in the UI, but the general flow stayed the same
[CHANGED] npm dependencies of the hub updated
[OTHER] TravisCI, the service we used to build the release packages, has basically discontinued its Open Source support. So the release is now built with Github Actions. This is nothing that you would see when using the software, but still worth mentioning.

v0.1.0

[BREAKING] location where the hub stores its configuration has been changed from hub/config.json to $HOME/.wifi-tally.json #21
[BREAKING] Pins for Stage Light have been moved from D2-D4 to D1-D3

[FIXED] prevent hub from crashing on invalid message #19

v0.1-alpha3

[FIXED] Following links on the hub is now possible when using the web interface on the machine that runs the hub #1
[FIXED] Tally sanitizes its hostname if it contains spaces or is longer than 32 characters
[ADDED] Tally logs the boot reason when starting. This could help determine if the tally crashed (which it never does of course ;) ) or the wifi signal was lost
[ADDED] Tally buffers up to 10 log messages if the hub is not available. This helps detecting issues once the wifi connection is re-established.
[ADDED] A separate LED can be used for the operator light on the tally #2

[ADDED] the NodeMCU onboard LED indicates if the board is powered and the code started
